Verdict
Nicky Henderson dominated this juvenile hurdle in the Noughties and seeks a 10th victory overall in the contest. He has two entries but Kempton scorer Overpriced Mixer looked to be fighting a losing battle under his penalty when unseating his rider at Ludlow, though the winner of that contest has since won a Listed race at Aintree. Stablemate GOODBYE STRANGER (NAP) has a nice mix of stamina and speed in his pedigree and, though he wears a hood on debut, might be the one to be on. Kentucky Hardboot is weighted to reverse Kempton running with Overpriced Mixer and has placed again subsequently. Tinnahalla should stay but Wightman was a miler on the Flat.
